Aditya Seal: We Decided To Perform Without Harnesses Because Tiger And I Trusted Each Other Implicitly!

Ever since the trailer of Student of the Year 2 dropped, the action sequences between Tiger Shroff and Aditya Seal have been a major talking point. And interestingly, even though Aditya plays Tiger’s nemesis in the film, the duo share excellent rapport offscreen. And since both are fitness enthusiasts, they had a great time shooting.

Recently, during an interaction with a leading daily, Aditya revealed how he and Tiger did not even use harness while doing stunts since they trust each other completely. He said, “There’s a scene in the trailer where Tiger kicks four people in one go. The scene following it is supposed to be an exchange of kicks and punches with me, after which, I am supposed to fall off the edge. We decided to perform it without harnesses because Tiger and I trusted each other implicitly. I knew that he would hold me back if I am really about to fall, which is what happened. Poori taqat se he held me when I was about to fall. Most people on the set thought aaj to yeh gaya. My forearms were swollen for a week after that, but it was so much fun.”

He also revealed details about they bonded over martial arts, which also made action scenes in the film look more authentic. “Given that we’re both heavily into martial arts, and we’ve been training together for years now, we knew that come what may, our reflexes will come into play and that we will end up hitting each other for real. That did happen and it made our action scenes look amazing. He saved me in the nick of time that day; on another day he almost got me. I think even our mistimed flips and slips have added a layer of authenticity to the action scenes”, said Aditya.

“Working with someone like Tiger in any capacity is very easy because he’s a cool guy, who puts the film before himself. He doesn’t even mind another actor taking centre stage in a scene if that helps the movie.” Well, going by these statements, it is going to be really interesting to see them in SOTY 2, which is scheduled to release on 10th May, 2019.
